PRESIDENTS DANGER.
PRESENT MANNER OF LlviSa
Not Conducive to Longevity-A Physician
Says That Hs Will Not Live III. Torn Out

and Take Necessary Exerci,s.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 2l.-Dr. u
7. Sewers, ono Of the most prominent ply
sicians Of Washington, In an Interview
With a reporter to-day, declared that there
Is danger that President Cleveland will
not live through his term unless there Il
change in his mode OF living. DR.. Sow.
ers, six months .beiore Mr.. Manning'a
illness, made the same prediction with re.
gard to the Secretary, and advised friend
to warn him Of his danger.
In the interview to-day DR.. Sowers saye:
ut may be deemed impsrtinent to talk
to the President through newspaper
man, but l know Of no other way Of reach.
Ing him 80 surely. You recall my attempt
with the friends OF Mr.. Manning and their
fruit, and do not feel that should take
the same chances in this matter. am
personally apprised Of tho Presidents b
condition and while 1t Ia in no sense dan.
gerous 1t will not be long bsiore there will
be reason for :slarm. President CIeye.
land Is large. leshy man and since he
came to the White House has gained enor.
mously in flesh. Now, when he lived in
Buffalo It was his habit to take long
walks. Since he has come here, however,
he has abandoned every form OF exercise
save carriage riding. That Is OF little or
no use with tho springs .now in usa and
the smooth streets for which Washington
Is famous.
"rhe President Is man who works with
his head great deal; he is, in fact, an in.
terse brain worker. He IL, In other
words, plodder, and his brain is conse-
Qusntly filed with blood. Wha. is the
result? He works with his head, eats
enormously and fails 10 exercise his mus.
cles; his blood vessels are weakened, and
1t ia only question OF tims when, in &
moment OF excitement, he bursts blood

Cleveland is now living, there is great
danger that he will not live throughout
his term. Something should bo done to
bring him to realize his danger and take
the proper steps to prevent the result
which will surely ensue, il he fails to take
proper exercise. Whist l should recon-.
mend would be the fixing up OF room in
the White House, and the setting apart OF
hall an hour every day for gymnastic ex.
ercise. That alone, in my opinion, will
prevent catastrophe. tho avoidance OF
which not only tho Preaident, but the
whole country at large, lie interested in &c.

LONDON, March 2l.-The Marx Lam,
Express in its weekly review OF the British
grain trade says: English wheat is dull
and irregular. Sales Of English wheat
during the past week, were IL ,SG6 quar-.
tiers at S2s. Id, against 72.5l9 quarters a t
30,. Id. the corresponding week last year.
Anxiety is caused by the discovery OF
large numbers Of pup,e OF the Hessian iIy
in screenings oil wheat from the threshiny
machines throughout the provinces. AZ.
rlculturists urge the immediate destruc.
ton by fire Of all screenings, claiming that
if there is any delay it will be too late to
cope with the pest. Flour is dull and
weaker, owing to the enormous supplies
from America. Foreign wheat does NOT
improve. Indian and Russian are CHEAP.
er, and Liverpool quotations are lower.
Corn is steady, and against buyers. Lin
seed fell ls., but regaiued Cd. towards the
close OF the week.
There were three arrivals OF wheat car.

puny no IInnd In the Deal.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2l.-The stories
which have quickly followed on each
others heels have decided tendency to
influence everyone to wait developments.
First following the discovery that Mr..
Sully had failed in his option, it was said
that Mr.. Gould WAS interested in the mat.
tor. Then it was o. P. Huntington, which
MIR. Huntington promptly and emphati.
cally denied. After that John W. Mackay
was the man backing ths deal, and then
came the positive assertion that the CON.
bins!ion consisted OF President Stayner
aud Vice.President Ives, OF the Cincin.
natl, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad. Still
later came ths Atchieon, Topeka & Santa
Fs story and, following, vsgue information
about still more vague aud mysterious
syndicates.
Railroad authorities in this city re-.
gard it as most significant thing that no
one Of the8e reports:wsa officially author.
lied. 1t is believed that Mr.. Garrett has
given an option probably to the party
represented by Messrs. Stsyner and Ives,
and that f500,00O has been paid on this
pending an examination OF tho Baltimore
4 Ohio property by the proposed buyers.
No doubt is felt that Mr.. Garrett is in the
market to sell aud that he and other par
ties have in their minds the creation OF a
system of railroads extending through the
Sorth and West.
With all this known, it is felt that the
Philadelphia capitalists hold tho key to
the situation. II any OF the negoliators
could induce Dre1el, Morgan K Go, to 20
into the pool for Sl,000,00O, there would
be no doust OF the success Of the plan.
Yet that firm has not gone into it, al
though IL is believed that overtures have
been made to them. There ia no way ex-
planned how the Baltimore & Ohio could
get to New York without their co.opers-
ton. These gentlemen and their friends
command the key to the situation 30 far as
the Reading is concerned. So far as the
Pennsylvania Railroad ia concerned, Pres
ident Roberts emphatic denial to a re-
porter settles oil doubts as to the attitude
Of that corporation.
Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan made n most
emphatic and sweeping denial OF the re-.
port that be individually, or in connection
with his banking house, had anything to
do with the negotiations. "We have no
interest" he said, 'ether direct or re-
mote, in any negotiations for the control
OF the Baltimore & Ohio railroad" 1t is
expected that Mr.. Morgan will be in Phil
adelphia this week.
A very prominent financial authority
said Yesterday to a reporter:
"The situation is very complicated.
Unless Drexel & Morgan enter into the
plan do not see how it could be consum-
mated, because with the road sold to other
people the purchasers would bs left in e1-
actly the same position Mr.. Garrett is in
now-they could not get to Now York.
Still believe the deal will be successfully
consunmated at IN early day-perhaps
within two or three days from now"

TIE CnAUTAUQUA FIRE.
Eighty buildings Destroy yed-Loss Over On,
Hundred Thounand Dnllnrn

ELghty buiiuliEH DestrUycd-LOss Over One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
BUFFALO, n. T., March 2l.-A special
from jamestown says: The 6re at the
Chsutauqua Assembly grounds early this
morning destroyed eighty buildings, In.
Guiding several large boarding houses,
among them the Eckert, Parker and
Alling houses. The total loss will prob.
ably reach 100000. The FIRE started
shortly before midnight In the Curtis
cottage on Simpson avenue. II was
caused by defective flue. The buildings
and cottages are OF wood and were close
together. The fire spread rapidly to the
adjoining cottages and the lack OF fire
apparatus and the scarcity OF help favored
the flames. Almost sixty families remain
on the grounds during the winter season.
Citizens from Maysvile and the aurround.
ing towns arrived on the sceno and great.
ly aided residents, The fire swept every.
thing before 1t, taking both sides OF Sinp.
son and Summerfeld avenues from the
auditorium TO the hotel A.heneum, It
was with great difficulty ths, tbs hotel
was saved. The absence OF hiyh wind
alone saved from destruction the large
and costly structure.
The fire departments at Cory, Erie and
other cities were telegrsphed for, but the
Cory department alone responded. A
epecia! train was run from that city to
Maysville. The heroic work OF the winter
residents and farmers from tho surround-
Ing country undoubtedly prevented the
destruction OF the entire assembly with It's
costly buildings and 500 cottages. All the
cottages and boarding houses in the
burned district were furnished and eauip.
ped and very little furniture was saved,
Many OF the burned cottages on Simpson
avenue were rebuilt last year. This was
the most fashionable avenue OF the
grounds. The cottages cost from s. 900 to
fl5. 900 each. The loes is divided as fol.
lows: Thirty.six buildings on Simpson
avenue, tTenty.iour buildings on Sum.
merheid avenue, six cottages on Terrace
avenue aud three on Hedding avenue,
The magnificent forest trees shading the
street were burned and destroyed.
Among tho cottages destroyed were
those belonging to the following persons:
DR.. Ballard, OF Bradford, the finest cottage
on the grounds; Judge Whitmore, OF
Warren, Pa; Alr5. Martin, OF Maysyile;
Mrs. Rsker, of Jamestown; Mrs. Dickens.

Cummings, Of Chautsuqua; Mr.. Fossett,
Of franklin, Pa.
Six cottages on Asbury avenue were de.
stroyed in addition to those already re-
ported. The only means OF fighting the
fire WIS with axes aud buckets and many
OF the reaidents fought the flames until
they were prostrated.

the safest and best remedy ever discover

principle from the usual prescriptions

cause Of the trouble, heals the parts affect.
